Jennifer Celotta’s new contract

“The Office” writer-producer Jennifer Celotta has inked a new two-year overall deal with series producer NBC Universal TV Studio. Under the seven-figure pact, Celotta will continue as a co-executive producer on the Emmy-winning NBC comedy while also developing new projects for the studio.

“Jen is a fantastic person and a tremendous writer,” NBC Uni TV senior vp comedy programming Shelley McCrory said. “She’s become an invaluable player on ‘The Office,’ and we’re thrilled by the opportunity to remain in business with her.”

Beyond being a great writer, her office gets used for Michael’s “Michael’s office” scenes — as we learned from the tour insights here and GMMR — so it’s probably in their best interest to make sure Jen remains in that office. Who knows if a new tenant woulid be so cooperative? :)
